The big man has a living father

Chapter 126 (Super Large Chapter) Shit is Poisonous

The horses' hooves are galloping.

Dust and snow were flying.

After leaving Chang'an, Huo Qubing's own troops and the Princess's subordinates, the Yulin Guard, learned the truth about the trip.

Huangfu Hua whipped the horse's buttocks while shouting: "This is about the foundation of the Han Dynasty and the Princess's concern for the people of the world!"

A group of people started running wildly.

You have to know that although a horse can run, it can't run very far if it carries a person.

Even if these are military horses and they are well fed, there will be problems if they run too far.

In fact, Huangfu Hua didn't want to meet the newcomer on Xichi Road too early.

The reason is very simple. The longer the distance, the greater the advantage of your cavalry.

If we were closer to Chang'an, the goods might have been sold out.

After showing the princess's brand and changing horses at the post station on the road, the group continued on their way.

The others were fine, but the one who couldn't stand it the most was Huangfu Hua.

Huangfu Hua didn't practice riding every day, so he didn't have a strong butt, and now he's been shaken silly.

Seeing a convoy appearing on the road ahead, Huangfu Hua breathed a sigh of relief but then tensed up again.

Because the convoy is now at a standstill and there are people surrounding the convoy.

There were more people on this side of the convoy, but they were all unarmed civilians.

Only a few were armed, but they fought on foot.

On the other side, there were more than a dozen people who came on horseback, but they dismounted after shooting arrows and prepared to charge forward.

Just happened to meet?

Was it intentional? Or was it just a coincidence?

"Go ahead and kill them. Protect the goods first, then deal with the people! It's best to catch them alive!"

How has Huangfu Hua been doing recently? Who in Chang'an doesn't know that Huangfu Hua is Huo Hai's right-hand man, the manager in charge of the Huo family's human resources, and a powerful person?

After living a good life recently, Huangfu Hua never thought that he would have to suffer like this one day. He was so angry: "Cut him!"

Huo Qubing's men were the fastest, and they continued to gallop on their horses. This group of people did not need stirrups or saddles, but they were able to ride steadily on their horses and wield their weapons.

After they rushed out, the opponent quickly realized that they were no match and wanted to leave immediately.

Several people first protected the car and did not chase after it.

When the Yulin Guards rushed up and saw that the car had been protected, they immediately went after them.

Huangfu Hua arrived and saw that the people in the convoy were still protecting the car.

They did not know the attackers, nor did they know the group that came later.

But when he saw the cavalry approaching, he felt that they were his own people.

The leader stood up and said, "General Yingji, Chen Qiyi."

The cavalrymen here dismounted and said, "General Hussar's troops, Cavalry Commandant Nie Han."

Chen Qiyi breathed a sigh of relief, fell to the ground, and gasped: "It almost happened."

Huangfu Hua stepped forward and said, "I am Huangfu Hua, the second young master's retainer."

Chen Qiyi sloppily cupped his hands and said, "The goods are fine. They just arrived and were ready to start. We didn't expect someone to dare to attack us on the road, so we only had ox carts and horse carts, but no war horses. We almost fell into the ditch."

Huangfu Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, I saw that the dozen or so people who had escaped were fighting fiercely with the Yulin Guards.

Nie Han pulled open Chen Qiyi's clothes and took a look: "He's injured, someone come and bandage him."

Chen Qiyi laughed and cursed: "Damn it, a few scoundrels actually succeeded."

In Chen Qiyi's view, protecting the goods was nothing, but being stabbed in a head-on fight was considered a success.

After all, when he was roaming the desert, few people could hurt him, let alone stab him so deeply.

Nie Han caught the blind spot and reacted: "Knife wound?!"

Huangfu Hua also had a question: "Knife wound?"

The other party is also a soldier. Even if he is not a soldier, he is the private soldier of a high-ranking military official.

The reason is very simple. Knives have only been popular for a few years. Old weapons have not been relegated to the background. There are only two possibilities for using knives. The first is to be a soldier, and a cavalryman, who of course has a knife.

The second is imitation!
The first of these is impossible.

Because the ring-handled sword has not been promoted throughout the entire army, currently only the main force among the main forces attacking the Huns has the ring-handled sword.

Most of the ring-handled swords were in the hands of Huo Qubing's subordinates.

These people on the other side are definitely not from the Huo family army.

Because if they were people under Huo Qubing's command, they would definitely use cavalry tactics, and Chen Qiyi and his men would not have been able to survive the infantry battle, and they should be lying on the ground now.

Therefore, the suspects are the private soldiers of several other generals who participated in the war against the north!
Li Guang? Gongsun He? Li? Wei Qing?

Huangfu Hua certainly knew who the person was and what happened, but he couldn't talk about such things.

Unless you catch the culprit alive and he confesses voluntarily, it is useless to tell who he is and it will only cause many problems.

But it is impossible to catch.

Huangfu Hua watched the attackers on the field die one by one and shook his head.

The Yulin Guards have been trying very hard to capture him alive.

But the opponent was out to kill, fighting with injury for injury. No matter how powerful the Yulin Guards were, they could not do anything to them.

Seeing the last man being caught by three Yulin guards on horseback, two Yulin guards dismounted and used ropes to grab him, but he still managed to break out and was killed by another Yulin guard, Huangfu Hua shook his head and said, "Send the goods back."

These people are definitely Li Guang's men.

Even if he is not, he must be Li Gan or Li Jiao's man.

The princess's men were also very angry when they came back: "These people's escape was obviously planned. It is almost impossible for us to capture them without killing them after we surrounded them."

"Fortunately, Captain Nie is an expert in horsemanship, otherwise they would have ridden away on horseback."

These people escaped in a planned manner, but the reason they didn't get away was really because of Nie Han's quick reaction.

You have to know that the group of people rode their horses all the way here at full speed, so the horsepower was very low.

If this group of people ran away on horseback, it would be impossible to catch up with them.

Fortunately, Nie Han and his men had the ability to engage in close combat on horseback, which allowed them to divide the battlefield and force those people to run on foot.

Nie Han said with a sullen face: "Stop bragging, let's go."

Logically speaking, a small attacking team of a dozen people is not even as good as a cavalry captain, a guard general, a centurion general, or even a dubo. If they just send a sergeant or a corporal to lead the team, they will kill the enemy and wipe out the entire legion.

Nie Han's military rank was already too high, so he personally went into action. However, he only managed to save the goods, and did not catch anyone. In any case, Nie Han was not happy.

The princess's guard shook his head and said, "It shows that the other party is not ordinary. I wonder who is so bold as to touch the princess's things."

Huangfu Hua didn't want them to continue discussing this topic: "If you chat for a while longer, Chen Qiyi will bleed to death."

"Look, he rolled his eyes."

Nie Han hurriedly said, "Where's the person? Stop the bleeding! Disinfect and sew!"

A man behind was bending over on his horse, rummaging through something in his saddlebag: "Right away, right away! Right away!"

There was no such thing as sterilized sutures before, but during the six months that Huo Hai followed the main force northward, these things spread among the army.

However, Nie Han was not very clear about the specific operation methods of this set of methods. Nie Han only knew that sometimes the wound would heal slowly after being disinfected with strong alcohol, but sometimes people would die directly if they were not disinfected.

Fortunately, there was someone with us who knew how to bandage the wound.

……

After the long-staple cotton was delivered, Huo Hai took a look. Although these things had been worn for a quarter, they had not been spun into yarn or anything. Instead, many of them were made into cotton clothes together with the seeds.

Only a few seeds have been removed.

When Zhao Po Nu's people went to buy them, the locals left some behind to continue planting.

But Zhao Po Nu wanted to take it back by showing off his military might, so they had no choice but to hand it over. Even if they kept anything, it would probably not be much.

Huo Hai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was indeed long-staple cotton.

Huangfu Hua recounted the whole process. Huo Hai said, "Luckily, I happened to meet Nasus, so I was able to protect the things."

Huangfu Hua reminded: "Sir, is there a possibility that the people of the Li family saw that you were meeting with the Egyptians, so they deliberately sent people to sabotage at that time. In fact, they didn't intend to burn the cotton at all, but simply wanted to give you a warning?"

Huo Hai thought for a moment and fell silent.

Although the other side had lost more than a dozen assassins, it would seem a loss if it was just a show of force.

But maybe, in the eyes of the other party, human life is worthless. That makes sense.

Huo Hai thought about this possibility.

If the intention was to destroy, then I would have sent someone there, and they just happened to come across it and saved the goods.

If the purpose is to intimidate me, then the Li family is truly despicable.

Because if you think about it, you can come to the conclusion that if it is just a show of force, it means that the other party deliberately did not cause any substantial damage and is just showing off.

The other party may not want to destroy the current relationship, and is simply warning you, "I know what you want to do, and I have the ability to destroy your business. I will show you my ability, but I will not destroy it."

If it is the latter, it is more in line with their style.

But this is even more disgusting, even more disgusting than the former.

Because he revealed an attitude, which was, 'I don't care about the lives of my own people, let alone the lives of my enemies, so you'd better not mess with me.'

Huo Hai shook his head: "Let's put this matter aside for now. You and Xiang Xu should go and do something important."

Huangfu Hua was stunned: "This matter is not important, is there anything more important than this matter?"

"Of course cotton is the most important." Huo Hai: "But the cotton has been taken back, and the next step is to separate the seeds and then sow them when the time comes."

"Xiang Xu will tell you what happened later."

Soon, Xiang Xu took Huangfu Hua out.

Although Xiang Xu was the driver and Huangfu Hua was the co-pilot when Huo Hai was traveling.

But when two people travel alone, that's the behavior of big shots.

Sitting in the car, Xiang Xu started talking about what happened after Huangfu Hua left.

Huangfu Hua laughed when he heard this: "Did Shi De think that the young master was just talking nonsense, so he thought he had a sure win and placed the bet, but he didn't expect that the young master would directly agree to exchange his family's land? Hahaha."

Xiang Xu nodded: "There have been a lot of troubles in Chang'an City. Do you think someone did it on purpose or it was just a coincidence?"

Huangfu Hua whispered: "It could be intentional, it could be a coincidence, or it could be..."

"Someone deliberately wanted to cause trouble for you, but not all the people he contacted agreed to stand on his side. However, for their own interests, these people also stood up to threaten you, and pushed the boat with the current, so that all these things accumulated and exploded."

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be something else, right?"

If someone is deliberately making things difficult for you, it is definitely not just threats to your face or behind your back.

There are surely other forms of trouble, far more trouble than the threats of trouble.

Xiang Xu nodded: "It is because of this matter that the Master asked us to deal with it together."

The people involved in the accident are complicated.

There was a nobleman who was competing with others for business, so he chose to poison!
It’s not about blocking people who are trying to steal your business.

Instead, they poisoned the food sold by other businesses.

It was found out.

Now the person has been arrested and taken to the Jingzhao Yin prison. Ji An did not start an investigation, but said that this happened in Chang'an County and Huo Hai's people were needed to be present.

Because Huangfu Hua and the evil tiger Xiang Xu are now the Junior Lieutenant and the Junior Lieutenant-Secondary of Chang'an, the two of them are attending the hearing on behalf of Chang'an County, not Huo Hai.

The person who poisoned the person was called Zhang Ou.

It wasn't the Imperial Censor Zhang Ou. Zhang Ou was the mastermind behind the whole incident. It was certainly impossible for him to use himself as a stage actor and set difficult problems for Huo Hai to solve.

This Zhang Ou is another person.

This person is the grandson of Princess Lu Yuan, and the great-grandson of Liu Bang and Empress Lu.

And his family situation is quite complicated.

His great-grandfather was King Zhang Er of Zhao, his father was King Zhang Yan of Lu, and his aunt was Zhang Yan.

You have to know that Princess Lu Yuan is a typical miserable person.

At that time, in order to seize the emperor's power, Empress Lü married her granddaughter Zhang Yan to her son Liu Ying.

When Princess Lu Yuan and Liu Ying were kicked off the carriage by Liu Bang, they never thought that their mother had come up with a blood purification technology.

At that time, they were still following my skirt closely, and were wary of Liu Bang who kicked them off the carriage.

But the two brothers and sisters didn't understand any of this, and didn't understand the distribution of interests between the Liu and Lu families.

Anyway, in the end, Liu Ying became the crown prince, and Princess Lu Yuan was Liu Bang's only daughter.

Princess Lu Yuan did not have a good life just because she became a princess. First of all, she had to face a political marriage, and she married Zhang Ao, the son of Zhang Er, the King of Zhao.

Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog does not represent her destiny.

Just two years later, Liu Bang was defeated by the Hun army, and at this time someone proposed a marriage alliance.

Liu Bang quickly thought of marrying Princess Lu Yuan to the Chanyu.

You should know that Princess Lu Yuan now has a husband, and Zhang Ao is living well.

In fact, the reason why Liu Bang did this was because the power of the Lu family was growing and he wanted to divide the Lu family internally.

But this plan failed because Empress Lu refused to comply.

However, just two years later, Liu Bang stripped Zhang Ao of his title and conferred him the title of Marquis of Xuanping on him on the grounds of rebellion.

Later, the Lu family rebelled and was implicated again. At that time, almost all the members of the Lu family died.

In other words, the current Zhang and Ou lineage has become the last bloodline of Liu Bang and Empress Lu.

Well, today Zhang Ou poisoned and killed someone.

You decide how you want.

Who is Ji An? He is the master of Huang-Lao Taoism in the court.

The main idea of ​​​​Ya is to rule by doing nothing.

But if he has to do something, he can act faster than anyone else.

The key is, can Zhang Ou be killed?
After killing him, will the royal family still maintain their reputation?

Although the Zhang family has lost the titles of King of Zhao and King of Lu, there are actually still two titles passed down.

Zhang Ou and Zhang Sheng were two brothers. Zhang Ou was Marquis Xuanping and Zhang Sheng was Marquis Nangong.

Guess what, not long ago, Zhang Sheng had just been stripped of his title of Marquis Nangong by Emperor Wu of Han because of a crime.

Now the Zhang-Ou issue has become a huge political issue.

Because at that time, Empress Lü's family held more than 50% of the shares in the Han Dynasty.

Now, there is only one family left.

Even so, one of the two leaves of the only seedling was pulled out.

If I pull out the other piece now, would it be too hasty?

No matter how legitimate your reasons are, there's nothing we can do.

To put it bluntly, it is true that Zhang Ou committed a crime, but people like Zhang Ou's father, brother, and grandfather were all killed because of their faults.

Everyone knows it clearly.

This has resulted in Zhang Ou being unable to make a judgment now.

Because once the verdict is made, the entire original stock group will be wiped out.

So how can the current nobles, including the new aristocracy, be sure that their families can survive in the Han Dynasty?
Isn't this a really extreme thing to do?
But what if there is no judgment?

Zhang Ou is doing business now, and because he had a dispute with other businessmen, he poisoned people!
It was the diners who were poisoned!
If Zhang Ou is not sentenced, who will dare to eat out in the future?

Does it mean that if a noble has a business conflict with someone else, he can poison the other person's house? What if the person is poisoned to death? Is the death in vain?

Then who would dare to believe the business environment outside?

Besides, from a businessman's perspective, everyone is trying their best to make money. If you are a noble and can't win in business, you poison your competitor's products? ? ?
What does it mean?
If it was Di Renjie who encountered this problem, I am afraid that Di Renjie would first consider the impact, then impose a certain punishment on the other party, and then give a better plan for the emperor to follow.

If it were Bao Zheng, he would be beheaded with a dog's head.

What about changing it to Ji An?
Ji An is more Bao Zheng than Bao Zheng. Ji An dared to write a letter to curse Emperor Liu Che. What was there that he dared not do?
Ji An wished he could hang Zhang Ou up and tear him into pieces.

Xiang Xu explained the situation, and Huangfu Hua also felt the difficulty of this matter: "Hiss~"

If Zhang Ou's title was stripped, it would be tantamount to truly and thoroughly annihilating all of Lu Hou's clan. That would not be annihilation in the political sense, but rather reducing Lu's shares in the Han Dynasty to zero in a physical sense.

Just imagine, how do those who used to have connections with the Lu family deal with it?
When you go back, will you all look through the family tree and ask the elders in your family: "We have never been neighbors with the Lu family, right?" We won't be implicated, right?
Even if there is no relationship at all, I will still consider it. The Lu family is in this state, how can our family get away with it?
If Zhang Ou's title was not stripped, it would be tantamount to indulging the nobles, meaning that the nobles could do whatever they wanted when doing business.

You can't just ignore Zhang Ou today and then deal with me, Liu Ou, tomorrow? I, Dou Ou, am wronged! I, Wei Ou, will shit on your heads!

Huangfu Hua: "What can we do in the past?"

Xiang Xu: "Let's go. The key point is not to deal with Zhang Ou's matter, but to take Zhang Ou away from Jingzhao Yin and bring him back to the Chang'an County Xiaowei Yamen."

"Because Zhang Ou stayed with Ji An, he would force Ji An into a corner. Ji An would be able to tear Zhang Ou into pieces. Then we wouldn't have to think about what to do."

Xiang Xu also talked about Ji An's style of doing things.

Huangfu Hua: "That is to say, Ji An can do nothing at ordinary times, but once he does something, he will do it to the extreme."

"So we can't let Zhang Ou stay in Jingzhao Yin, we have to take him to our government office and lock him up?"

There was no one in the Chang'an County Junior Lieutenant's Office except Yi Shuo.

You Fufeng has always been in charge of public security matters.

Later, after Jingzhao Yin was established, it was Jingzhao Yin who took over the job.

Huangfu Hua knew that Zhang Ou was a hot potato.

Once this thing reaches Chang'an County, there will be chaos and no peace.

The person behind this incident must have wanted to use it to bring unrest to Chang'an County.

Moreover, once Huo Hai officially takes over, someone will definitely start to lead the pace.

By then, everyone in Chang'an will pay attention to this matter.

All classes will pay attention.

Huangfu Hua took a deep breath: "What is this bastard thinking? Isn't he looking for trouble?!"

Huangfu Hua finally realized how complicated this matter was.

No matter how powerful you are, you can't balance this kind of thing.

The car shuttled through the inner city of Chang'an and finally arrived at the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, which was next to the Prince's Mansion and diagonally opposite the armory.

Xiang Xu and Huangfu Hua got out of the car while adjusting their clothes.

Huangfu Hua: "We have to relieve the young master's worries."

Xiang Xu glanced at Huangfu Hua and shook his head.

Even if Huangfu Hua figured out the whole story, he couldn't analyze the seriousness of the matter.

The business reform was led by the young master.

If you don't stand from the perspective of protecting ordinary businessmen, then gradually fewer people will believe in you, and over time, the business environment will be ruined.

The money was hidden and disappeared.

If the young master had taken the perspective of protecting ordinary businessmen, he would have dealt with Zhang Ou.

That means standing in opposition to the nobles.

Those who acted in secret wanted the nobles to take sides.

In the past, the nobles had not yet noticed that times had changed, and many people did not realize that they needed to take sides.

Now that this incident has triggered the controversy, they will immediately discover the problem and start to take sides.

This is the crux of the problem.

But Xiang Xu could not tell Huangfu Hua about this.

Xiang Xu figured out the idea of ​​the birth of a new class on his own and had never discussed it with Huo Hai. Xiang Xu knew that this was the biggest secret in business reform, so how could he tell anyone about it?
The later the emergence of the new class spreads, the more beneficial it will be for business reform.

When this class becomes so powerful that it can no longer be suppressed and becomes known to the world, it means that the business reform has been completed.

Xiang Xu and Huangfu Hua walked into the Jingzhao Yin government office.

Seeing Xiang Xu and Huangfu Hua, the clerk stopped them and said, "Stop."

"Send your name."

Huangfu Hua: "I am the Lieutenant General of Chang'an County..."

At this point, Huangfu Hua was no longer confident: "Hey, Old Xiang, am I the Second Lieutenant Lieutenant or the Second Lieutenant Lieutenant? Are you the Second Lieutenant Lieutenant?"

Originally, after Huo Hai became a second lieutenant, Xiang Xu and Huangfu Hua never went to work in the yamen. At that time, there were not enough staff, so Huo Hai filled in these two positions to make up the number.

It wasn’t a very powerful or formal position, and Huangfu Hua himself didn’t even remember it.

The clerk of Jingzhao Yin also laughed, scratching his head and saying, "It's the same with us Jingzhao Yin. We were just established, and everyone's positions are newly assigned. We can't even remember them ourselves."

"I saw from afar that you are people around Lord Huo. Come with me. It will definitely be written in the documents later."

Xiang Xu asked, "Young man, is Lord Ji An still in a stable mood? Did Zhang Ou do anything after he was captured?"

The clerk said: "After the Xuanping Marquis was captured, he kept insulting you."

Huangfu Hua: "Let's go! Let's go quickly! If Lord Ji An gets angry and kills him, it will be a big problem."

The clerk said: "The master is not angry, but he is always laughing."

Xiang Xu and Huangfu Hua looked at each other.

This is different from the legend. Isn't it said that Lord Ji An would get furious if he was not angry?

Why did you laugh when you were scolded?
When they arrived at the cell, Huangfu Hua and Xiang Xu saw Ji An had placed a royal chair in the aisle of the cell. They asked with a smile, "Tell me, why did you poison me?"

Zhang Ou is not too young, he is already 40 years old, and he is very tough at this moment: "Who are the Fan family? How dare they steal my business?"

"He's been stripped of his title, and he's still so arrogant?! I'm going to poison them!"

The Fan family? Are they related to the Fan family?

As Xiang Xu thought about it, things became more complicated.

Ji An couldn't help laughing: "So, you poisoned the shit to poison the Fan family's dog?"

Xiang Xu and Huangfu Hua were shocked by this outrageous operation. They couldn't help but stretch their necks and stare in shock: "What?"

Poison in the shit?

How did you come up with it?

The Fan family...is starting a business of selling dogs again?

Ji An: "Now that you have been caught poisoning, His Majesty might even strip you of your title. Then you will be the same as the Fan family."

"No, it's different. When others ask how the Fan family lost their titles, it's because the mistress had an affair and ruined the bloodline of the Fan family. It's embarrassing, but it's normal to talk about it. But you lost your title by poisoning shit. Do you have the nerve to tell others about that?"

Huangfu Hua whispered to Xiang Xu: "I think we are worrying too much, why don't we go back first."

"I don't want to test shit, especially shit that a dog has eaten."

Xiang Xu whispered: "You are talking nonsense. Even if it is shit that dogs have never eaten, I don't want to test it!"

Ji An didn't even look at this side, he just raised his hand on the armchair and pointed at the two people: "Don't even think about running away, I have heard you talking."

"You still want to dump this kind of thing on me? How can I take care of this?"

"Take the person away quickly!"

This matter may not be as complicated and serious as imagined, but in fact, it has not changed in essence and is still a matter of the same nature.

It's still a hassle.

If the last bloodline of Empress Lu's clan was destroyed because someone poisoned a dog's shit, it would be even more bizarre if it were told to others!

Is this something a human can do?
Huangfu Hua looked at Zhang Ou and remembered what the young master often said, 'Why don't you just stop treating him? You'll still drool even if you're cured.'

Huangfu Hua and Xiang Xu had already slipped back, but when they were stopped, they had no choice but to move forward.

Xiang Xu bowed and said, "Old man, how about you investigate this matter? You have experience."

Ji An: "Don't give me that. Take him away immediately."

The imprisoned Zhang Ou looked at the two people and said excitedly: "You are Lieutenant Huo's subordinates, right?!!! Can Lieutenant Huo help me get rich?!"

Xiang Xu and Huangfu Hua were not sure whether Zhang Ou was pretending or whether there were any political reasons behind it, but they could only bite the bullet and say, "Master Ji An, give us the documents."

Ji An: "Besides this guy, you can also take his son away."

"This guy's son is young, but he's very courageous."

Soon Xiang Xu and Huangfu Hua saw a little guy.

He looks only about six or seven years old.

Huangfu Hua lowered his head: "What's your name, little friend?"

The little guy pointed at his nose and said, "Master Zhang, please sit down. The whole family should sit down together."

Xiang Xu: “Puff~”

Huangfu Hua: "Take your people and return quickly."

Why is the Zhang family like this?

However, Xiang Xu finally understood why the young master did not come in person for such an important matter, but sent two of them here. Is this serious? Is this a serious poisoning?
This poor kid too, are all members of the Zhang family so stupid?
